COTABATO CITY -- A PHP300-million China-Cotabato Friendship
Technical School will soon rise in this city.
City government officials and representatives from the Chinese
Engineering Construction Company (CECC) joined the school groundbreaking
ceremony at Barangay Tamontaka Mother on Saturday.
The four-story school building, which would be constructed on a
four-hectare lot, is a donation from the CECC firm that also plans to build an
estimated PHP3.6-billion modern airport and seaport for the city.
Currently, the local government is awaiting the approval of the
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for the proposed seaport and
airport projects, which would be undertaken under the public-private
partnership scheme.
Once approved, the city’s modern seaport would be built at the seaside
of Barangay Kalanganan 2 while the new airport would be constructed at a vast
plain in Barangays Tamontaka 2 and 3.
“Thousands are expected to be employed as graduates from the technical
school would be hired for the modern airport and seaport projects,” Mayor
Frances Cynthia-Sayadi said.
For his part, Yi Bin Liu, head of the CECC group, expressed elation
over the development partnership with the city.
The technical school project is expected to be completed by December
this year. (PNA/By Noel Punzalan/re-posted by: Becky D. de Asis-The Redline News Philippines)
